Why The Hate

'Oh, you're a doctor? That's so cool.' *eyes glistening*

'Oh, you're a dentist? I hate dentists.' *cue story about your wisdom teeth and refusal to seek treatment*

Common alternate scenario:

'Oh, so you're like a dental assistant?' 

'No, I'm actually a real dentist, believe it or not.'

Why is it so acceptable to tell dentists to their face, sometimes right before they treat you, how much you hate them?

I hear it so often, I brush it off. It's almost meaningless. I laugh and say 'I know, me too' *ha ha ha* :| But really think about it, it's extremely rude and you would never do it to someone in another profession.
